During our college visits with our D, we were able to get a walk-in appointment and meet with the Dean of Admissions at a highly selective LAC in his office at one college, and the Director of Admissions in the admissions office lobby at another college. If nothing else, have your child ask them about the process the college uses to select applicants for admission and what they are looking for in applicants.

Based on the interview we had with the Dean of Admissions at the highly selective LAC, we learned that college used an elaborate board process. The Dean of Admissions had one vote on the panel and the regional admissions advisor for our area had another vote, would present our D’s application to the admissions panel, and make the case for her admission. With that knowledge, we made an appointment for our D to meet the regional admissions advisor for that college when she visited our state. It was a successful interview and our D was offered admission to that college.
